We had a very special time celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary as a family on the Big Island of Hawaii. We stayed at the fabulouso Hilton Waikoloa. This place is amazing and a special treat to stay at. From the main lobby you may board a tram or "jungle cruise" boat to your accommodations. The grounds are spectacular with a beautiful lagoon to swim in, several pools and tons of artwork on the grounds to view on your walk abouts. You can even swim with the dolphins (for a nice little fee). I just love this island as there is such diversity in the landscape and activities to enjoy. We spent a day at the volcano, took a glass bottom boat tour, 4 wheelin with the locals who took us for a swim in the waterfall pools of the former kings, and did a WHOLE lot of laying around in the sun. Even though we did not know who our daughter was at this time, we talked about her joining our family. The special thing that we NOW know is that Liliah was left by her birthmother at the orphanage this same week. +of+DSC01737.JPG)
